Rising Stars

Inspired by working at a couple of the Putney Pop-Up nights, William Bonfield, who is an assistant manager at Michelin-starred La Trompette, asked us if he might arrange his own Pop-Up night to help raise money for the Haitian Relief Fund.

We are calling the night "Rising Stars". It is taking place on Monday March 22, and William has assembled an incredibly young and enthusiastic team of sous-chefs and assistant managers who have worked at several of London's top restaurants (La Trompette, The Goring Hotel, L'Autre Pied, Odette's, The Box Tree.)

William and his team are being supported with incredible generosity by the excellent Rodney Macken from Macken Bros of Chiswick, who are donating the meat, the superb Secretts Farm, who are supplying salads and veg, superb Italian produce has been donated by Ninai Zarach who owns the Manicomio restaurants and bread from the brilliant Ottolenghi.

Do please try to come and support this event. In five years time, if not sooner, these super-talented young professionals will be running all the best restaurants in town. So it's going to be something of an historic night.
